Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 204 / Monday, October 24, 2005 / Notices
in which the copyrighted work is
transferred through file sharing. The
proposed amendment builds on the
current definition of ‘‘uploading’’ to
include making an infringing item
available on the Internet by storing an
infringing item in an openly shared file.
The proposed amendment also clarifies
that uploading does not include merely
downloading or installing infringing
items on a hard drive of the defendant’s
computer unless the infringing item is
in an openly shared file. By clarifying
the definition of uploading in this
manner, Application Note 3, which is a
restatement of the uploading definition,
is no longer necessary and the proposed
amendment deletes the application note
from the guideline.
Indeterminate Number
The proposed amendment addresses
the final directive by amending
Application Note 2, which sets forth the
rules for determining the infringement
amount. The proposed note provides
that the court may make a reasonable
estimate of the infringement amount
using any relevant information
including financial records in cases in
which the court cannot determine the
number of infringing items.
New Offense
Finally, the proposed amendment
provides a reference in Appendix A
(Statutory Index) for the new offense at
18 U.S.C. 2319B. This offense is
proposed to be referenced to § 2B5.3.
2. Amendment: Section 2J1.2(b) is
amended by striking subdivision (1) and
inserting the following:
‘‘(1) (Apply the greater):
(A) If the offense involved causing or
threatening to cause physical injury to a
person, or property damage, in order to
obstruct the administration of justice,
increase by 8 levels.
(B) If (i) defendant was convicted under 18
U.S.C. 1001 or 1505; and (ii) the statutory
maximum term of imprisonment relating to
international terrorism or domestic terrorism
is applicable, increase by 12 levels.’’.
The Commentary to § 2J1.2 captioned
‘‘Statutory Provisions’’ is amended by
striking ‘‘18 U.S.C. 1503’’ and inserting the
following:
‘‘18 U.S.C. 1001 when the statutory
maximum term of imprisonment relating to
international terrorism or domestic terrorism
is applicable, 1503’’.
The Commentary to § 2J1.2 captioned
‘‘Application Notes’’ is amended in Note 1 by
inserting after ‘‘Definitions.—For purposes of
this guideline:’’ the following:
‘‘ ‘Domestic terrorism’ has the meaning
given that term in 18 U.S.C. 2331(5).
‘International terrorism’ has the meaning
given that term in 18 U.S.C. 2331(1).’’.
The Commentary to § 2J1.2 captioned
‘‘Application Notes’’ is amended by striking
Note 2 and inserting the following:
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:19 Oct 21, 2005
Jkt 208001
‘‘2. Chapter Three Adjustments.—
(A) Inapplicability of Chapter Three, Part
C.—For offenses covered under this section,
Chapter Three, Part C (Obstruction) does not
apply, unless the defendant obstructed the
investigation, prosecution, or sentencing of
the obstruction of justice count.
(B) Interaction with Terrorism
Adjustment.—If § 3A1.4 (Terrorism) applies,
do not apply subsection (b)(1)(B).’’.
Appendix A (Statutory Index) is amended
in the line referenced to ‘‘18 U.S.C. 1001’’ by
inserting ‘‘, 2J1.2 when the statutory
maximum term of imprisonment relating to
international terrorism or domestic terrorism
is applicable’’ after 2B1.1’’.
Reason for Amendment: This amendment
implements section 6703 of the Intelligence
Reform and Prevention Act of 2004 (the
‘‘Act’’), Pub. L. 108–458. Section 6703(a)
provides an enhanced penalty of not more
than 8 years of imprisonment for offenses
under sections 1001(a) and 1505 of title 18,
United States Code, ‘‘if the offense involves
international or domestic terrorism (as
defined in section 2331).’’ Section 6703(b)
requires the Sentencing Commission to
amend the sentencing guidelines to provide
for ‘‘an increased offense level for an offense
under sections 1001(a) and 1505 of title 18,
United States Code, if the offense involves
international or domestic terrorism, as
defined in section 2331 of such title.’’ The
Commission is directed under section 3 of
the United States Parole Commission
Extension and Sentencing Commission
Authority Act of 2005, Pub. L. 109–76, to
promulgate this amendment as an emergency
amendment.
First, the amendment references
convictions under 18 U.S.C. 1001 to 2J1.2
(Obstruction of Justice) ‘‘when the statutory
maximum term of imprisonment relating to
international or domestic terrorism is
applicable.’’ It also adds a new specific
offense characteristic at § 2J1.2(b)(1)(B)
providing for a 12 level increase for a
defendant convicted under 18 U.S.C. 1001
and 1505 ‘‘when the statutory maximum term
of imprisonment relating to international or
domestic terrorism is applicable.’’ This 12
level increase is applied in lieu of the current
8 level increase for injury or threats to
persons or property. The increase of 12 levels
is intended to provide parity with the
treatment of federal crimes of terrorism
within the limits of the 8 year statutory
maximum penalty. It is also provided to
ensure a 5 year sentence of imprisonment for
offenses that involve international or
domestic terrorism.
Second, the amendment adds to
Application Note 1 definitions for ‘‘domestic
terrorism’’ and ‘‘international terrorism,’’
using the meanings given the terms at 18
U.S.C. 2331(5) and (1), respectively.
Third, the amendment adds to Application
Note 2 an instruction that if § 3A1.4
(Terrorism) applies, do not apply
§ 2J1.2(b)(1)(B).
